Welcome, Instapundit Readers! \u00a0Thanks for stopping by! \u00a0By the way, one of Glenn’s commenters referenced “Berg’s Law” – here they are<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My first book, Trulbert<\/em><\/a>, hits Amazon on Monday; it’ll be available for Kindle and compatible e-book readers.<\/p>\n

\"Trulbert___A_Comic_Novella_About_the_End_of_the_World_As_We_Know_It_-_Kindle_edition_by_Mitch_Berg__Literature___Fiction_Kindle_eBooks___Amazon_com_\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The book asks the rhetorical question “What if the world shrugged before Atlas did?”<\/p>\n

What if every Libertarian purist, every anarchist, everyone who ever walked out of an IRS audit, got their fondest wish, and – poof – <\/em>government disappeared overnight?\u00a0 What would happen?<\/p>\n

Would the world spontaneously sort itself into a functioning order, and society – now the assortment of individual, autonomous bits of pure reason that some of the Founders dreamed of – prosper and be perfectly happy?\u00a0 Would mankind spontaneously order the world into the Best Possible one?<\/p>\n

Or would the baser impulses of human nature – laziness, demagoguery, evil, or unfamiliarity with the works of Ludwig Von Mises – rot the utopia from the outside in?<\/p>\n

The book explores those questions through mankind’s greatest analytical tool – broad, tongue-in-cheek hamfisted satire.<\/p>\n

The book takes place from the perspective of a group of neighbors in South Minneapolis:<\/p>\n
